In one of my last posts I published the Top 30 Agile Books for Scrum Masters. I was collecting a list of the best agile books from various social channels and I received so much feedback that I divided the books into different categories: Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Agile Developers, Leadership & Agile Coaching. In this blog post I want to show you the result of the best 20 Agile Books for Software Developers.
The following list is ordered based on reviews and ratings on Amazon and GoodReads. If you think that there is an important book that should be added to that list, leave a comment after the list. Obviously these books will help also a Scrum Master as he works quite close with software developers:
